Re: TBI to port fuel (pics)

I didn't know you had a c4. Was it crossfire originally?

yes. Crossfire to XRam to Holley projection with 7.4L TB with 75 lbs injs @21 lbs FP. Now port fuel. Car runs so much better. That 2.0 inch bonnet had the inj pods blocking air flow I believe at 5800-6000. Not much room under bonnet. Plus the fuel control may have been compromised being TBI. Port fuel solved a few issues with drivability. EBL Flash is ECU. Prior hardware 4 sale in classifieds.

Re: TBI to port fuel (pics)

How does it idle wit the 224 cam? How much manifold vac? I know it would have a bit of a lope in a 350...

I get about 14-15 inHg with my 212 cam in my 350, and it idles pretty dang smooth, so that'd be my reference point.

Also, how much are you putting down with it?

Re: TBI to port fuel (pics)

Idle was Ok with the TBI BUT that was OL with VE cells flat around the map/rpm it idled at. That was 775-800(wander) with a manual trans. Idle spark locked at 20.

Now I am CL idle at 825 with a stock LT4 tune. Does not wander and cells are not flattened. Sa locked 20. I only put 25 miles on car since the induction changed. So the cam is not too radical. 114 LSA helps but I should have used a 112. When the cubes get upped next year or two I will use a 112 LSA with more duration.

I think the fuel distribution is 10X better with port fuel vs TBI.

I am idling at 48 MAP. With prior manifold I was at 44. I lost vac. Might be the larger intake 1000cfm TB vs 600 on prior.

Oh, I may have misunderstood.... you're not actually running a 7.4L engine... you were just running the throttle body from one?
